Manana Lyrics

Artist: Peggy Lee

MAANA (Is Soon Enough For Me)Peggy Lee

The faucet she is dripping and the fence she's fallin' downMy pocket needs some money, so I can't go into townMy brother isn't working and my sister doesn't careThe car she needs a motor so I can't go anywhere(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

My mother's always working, she's working very hardBut every time she looks for me I'm sleeping in the yardMy mother thinks I'm lazy and maybe she is rightI'll go to work maana but I gotta sleep tonight(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

Oh, once I had some money but I gave it to my friendHe said he'd pay me double, it was only for a lendBut he said a little later that the horse she was so slowWhy he give the horse my money is something I don't know(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

------ guitar solo ------

(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

My brother took a suitcase and he went away to schoolMy father said he only learned to be a silly foolMy father said that I should learn to make a chile potBut then I burned the house down, the chile was too hot(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me)

The window she is broken and the rain is comin' inIf someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skinBut if we wait a day or two the rain may go awayAnd we don't need a window on such a sunny day(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!(maana, maana, maana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Note: - "maana" (pronounced mun-yon-a) is Spanish for "tomorrow"- "Oba! Oba!" is an exclamation of happiness

Comments/Interpretations

by Juan on 6/30/2008 3:27pmFor heaven's sake, you have "manana" misspelled 40-dozen times in your version of the lyrics!! Get a grip! You're in the lyrics business! There is no such word in Spanish as "maana," you clowns!

by b boy king on 8/10/2009 11:00pmWHO loves the song more then me??? :')

by Patucho on 12/26/2009 12:17pmThe correct spelling for this song is Maņana. The enya [ņ] is necessary for the correct pronunciation.

by Jimbo on 4/30/2010 7:20pm Great song. Was it ever written in Spanish?

by BraBless on 10/9/2010 3:23amI hate it when people get honest feedback, and they don't act on it. When are you clowns going to revisit the lyrics and correct them? Hasta Manana, goodluck and goodbye!!

by Not hearing impaired on 11/29/2010 8:02amShe very clearly says "Manana is GOOD enough for me." Not soon enough, good enough.

by Ur Mom on 2/22/2011 6:37pmthat is not how we sing that song in choir! not even close...... wow. i like the way we sing it better! they seriously need to change it!

by Gordon Osing on 3/19/2011 8:46amWe named our new pretty little husky Manana, also a name for the dawn. Her friend, my white husky is named Ixca Cienfuegos. Get it?

by Luna Nightingale on 9/29/2012 4:41pmIt is most definitely "manana is SOON enough for me", thats the name of the song!!!! Mis-spellings aside (I mean, I knew what they meant!) LOVE THIS SONG and shall be adding it to my list of songs to sing :)

by Jim Verhaeghe on 12/13/2012 9:20amElRodeo restaurant offers free Margaritas, mamana!For all visitors to their Anchorage,Ak facility. I thought I'd give them a plug!

by Big Daddy on 2/21/2013 11:25pmThe best version of this song is by a band called Herbs at the end of a movie called, "Shrimp on the Barbie".

by Carolyn on 7/29/2014 1:27pmI don't know if Peggy Lee evervisited Mexico, but she sure knewwhat she was saying in those lyrics. In this country, manana never comes; you know, third world country. I know because I,unfortunately, live here. I believe their two favorite wordsare manana and mentira (to lie).Oh, add passive aggresive; that'swhy the government takes advantage of the people. Most are just status quo in their ownlittle world and to hell with therest of the country. It's sad when they could be so much better.

by Bobbo on 5/14/2015 6:16pmDano,you're wrong.In Spanish/Mexican the vowels are always pronounced the same.A is like ahE is like A in ableI is like E in eekO is OU is like ooo in youTherefore the Mexican vowels are pronounced ah, a, e, o, oooSo it would be mahn yah nah, not man yah nah

by Wild Card on 11/12/2015 5:22pmThis ould not the first and likely not the last that a singer (yes even one who wrote the origonal lyric) has recorded it with slight diffrences whether it just slipped their mind or deliberately brcause they liked the new phrasing better.
